Chapter 88: He actually falls for being cute too.

"You went to the East District?"

“No,” Wen Qi replied. “Meet You opened a branch in Nancheng last year, and it’s quite popular.”

His last sentence was actually quite tactful.

He drank too much last night and was driven back to Canglan Residence by Yi Xu. He woke up this morning feeling dizzy and lightheaded. After taking a shower and drinking some hangover soup, he drove specifically to Meet You.

As a result, a long queue had already formed in front of Meet You's store.

This shop is a popular online store. The items in the shop are cute and exquisite, and the taste is also good, so it is very popular among young girls.

However, when Wen Qi was queuing, there were quite a few couples, as well as quite a few boys who were queuing for their girlfriends.

It was springtime, and the sun wasn't scorching; instead, it was pleasantly warm.

Wen Qi's seating was just right; it took about an hour and a half to get in, and there was only one strawberry mousse left.

When he and Ji Xian were dating, whenever he went to Dongcheng and had free time, Ji Xian would always go to her house to buy a strawberry mousse.

However, due to work reasons, the time I went was irregular. Of the five times I went, I returned empty-handed about three times.

Either there's a queue, or they're sold out.

Wen Qi had actually arranged it for her once before, when they were in their third year of dating. It was on Ji Xian's birthday, and she wanted to eat a cake from Meet You.

Originally, Wen Qi had planned to go to Dongcheng by himself, but he went with her anyway.

It was springtime, but it was raining that day and very cold outside. Wen Qi was worried that she would catch a cold, so he told her to wait in the car while he stood in line for half an hour in the rain and cold wind before he could buy the mousse cake.

She loves sweets, and her favorite dessert is strawberry mousse.

She had originally planned to visit the Dongcheng area in a few days.

Unexpectedly, Wen Qi bought the cake for her.

And durian...

She remembered that Wen Qi didn't like durian, especially the smell, but she liked it very much.

Ji Xuan glanced at him, and then, looking at the food on the table, she still said "thank you."

She pulled out a chair and sat down, casually asking, "Don't you have to go to the company today?"

Seeing that his height seemed inappropriate standing there, she asked again, "Have you had lunch? There's a lot of food."

She swore it was just a polite remark.

Considering that he went out of his way to buy her a cake, it wouldn't be right to send him away before he even had a drink of water.

The main problem is that I can't live with myself.

After all, they didn't have any deep-seated hatred for each other, and it wasn't to the point of drawing swords.

"it is good."

Wen Qi seemed not to realize that she was just being polite, so he agreed and pulled out the chair opposite her and sat down.

I was actually quite hungry; my stomach was empty, which made me feel a bit uncomfortable.

After buying the cake, he received a call from Sui Yi, asking him to go back and run errands.

"The company isn't too busy lately; the project team is currently selecting projects."

It will take at least a month for them to select projects, as data analysis and research are required. The beginning and end of the year are the busiest times for the project department and the financial engineering department.

At times like these, the CEO's office isn't exactly busy, but it's certainly not idle either.

At least that's the impression Ji Xian had after spending five years in Linqi.

It's rare to hear a workaholic say the words "not busy".

Wen Qi took all the food containers out of the insulated bag. "It's best to put these shrimp and crabs in the refrigerator."

The heating is on inside, so the temperature is higher than outside. Food will spoil easily if it's not refrigerated.

Upon hearing this, Ji Xuan prepared to get up, but Wen Qi beat her to it, saying, "You sit down and eat, I'll do it. Can you put the noodles down?"

Ji Xian stared at him for a few seconds, then nodded slightly. The four shrimp and crabs were quite large, and the princess, who had been sleeping inside, came out after smelling them.

The little one with short legs ran up to Wen Qi, lay down on the box, and used its little paws to poke at the lobsters inside.

Wen Qi was startled by its sudden appearance, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes as he looked at Ji Xuan on the chair, "When did you get this cat?"

“It’s not my cat, it’s Wanwan’s. She’s been busy lately and doesn’t have time to take care of it. She didn’t want to board it at a pet store, so she sent it to me.”

"Quite cute."

Ji Xian looked at the tenderness in his eyes.

I didn't know he liked small animals.

The princess was truly outgoing. After rummaging through the lobsters in the box, she went around to Wen Qi's feet and sniffed them. A moment later, she started bumping her head against his leg and even rolled over on her belly.

It made a gurgling sound and stretched.

Ji Xian really wanted to take a picture of it with his phone and send it to Shi Wan.

This guy is used to going out for walks, so he's not shy around strangers. Now, this pose is probably 'seducing' Wen Qi to pet him.

Wen Qi wasn't particularly interested in animals; he had a so-so attitude towards them. He had never kept any pets and had never thought about keeping one.

But seeing this little guy acting so affectionately, I actually have a bit of an urge to pet it.

He quickly put the shrimp and crab away, washed his hands, dried them, and as soon as he touched them, the little guy kept pressing his head into his hand, looking so happy that Ji Xian couldn't help but chuckle.

This is a mischievous little cat.

Shi Wan once said, "Cuteness may be worthless in the face of sexiness, but no man can resist being coquettish."

The fact that a woman can act coquettishly shows that it is the man who gives her that confidence.

I know he'll fall for this, that he'll compromise, that he'll back down.

Since he could remember, Ji Xian had never acted coquettishly with anyone, nor was he used to it.

She considered acting cute as something related to her personality.

Ji Xian had already eaten half of her meal, but Wen Qi was still holding the princess tightly, and the food was getting cold. She frowned and said in a low voice, "Put it down and eat."

"it is good."

Wen Qi paused, a smile playing on his lips. He put the little one down, washed his hands, and then ate with her.

These five dishes and one soup are all home-style dishes.

I don’t know if it was because they were eating there, but the portions of each dish were quite large, including the rice.

Anyway, Ji Xian definitely couldn't finish it all by himself.

Ji Xian had thought that Sui Yi was someone who never lifted a finger in the kitchen, but he never expected her to be such a good cook.

“My mom has been spending most of her time at home these past few years researching food in the kitchen to pass the time,” Wen Qi suddenly said. “Those cookies and desserts were also made by her and my sister.”

Ji Xuan nodded.

The two finished their meal calmly and naturally.

Five dishes and a soup, nothing left.

The takeout boxes weren't disposable; they were all ceramic. After tidying up the table, Ji Xian prepared to wash the dishes so that Wen Qi could take them back with him later.

"Don't touch it, I'll do it."

As soon as he turned on the tap, Ji Xuan's wrist was grabbed, and he could clearly feel a hard chest against his back.

She froze, and before she could react, Wen Qi had already pulled her away, standing by the pool and pulling the sleeves of his sweater up to his elbows.

to be frank.

This was the first time she had seen him wash the dishes.

She watched him wash for a while without saying anything, and then turned on the coffee machine next to her.
